Yes, but someone from Long Island or Connecticut who works in Manhattan is unlikely to drive, while someone from those areas who works one town over will almost certainly drive. That will definitely skew these numbers if they don’t adjust f

It’s worth noting the full number isn’t just the six digits (plus checksum) but the full number including the letters that indicate owner and type, so a single owner wouldn’t give two of their containers the same number. That said, how many

Only if it has the sensors for it. There's a decent chance it just has a cheaper cadence sensor on the pedals, not a torque sensor or other way to tell if you are pushing hard.

I run into this with clients all the time. It's basically a two part conversation for me: 1. A quick (few paragraph) run through of where I see the complexity that led to the estimate. This often reassures people, sometimes helps us di

It’s not a penalty for backing out of the deal, it’s compensation if his financing falls through. Musk doesn’t have a discretionary out here.

Same here. I'm used to 'MM' in this context, but 'mil' is common and clear too. 'mln' took a couple reads to understand

Not sure what the net investment tax is, but just the normal Medicare tax (2.35%) is enough to get over 50% with federal and state income taxed there

by kgermino 4y ago
Not quite right: California + Federal tops out over 50%. Not by a lot and it obviously won't hit most people but it's an interesting benchmark.

No that happens here (US) too. That’s what I was referring to when I said it “matches the icons on the iron itself” but it’s not a very clear sentence.

Some of these are better (the bleach one being the most obvious) but most of them are worse or neutral. If I don't know what a line under the washing machine means, how am I supposed to know what the 2nd button means. The line is at le

Steep roofs also give you more height for hot air to rise. If they’re vented at the top (not sure but I assume yes) it will also help you get a chimney effect creating airflow through the house.

Can you elaborate instead of being coy? I'm not sure what you're referring to.

I might depend on where you are. In Milwaukee scooters being parked improperly (really, ditched on the sidewalk) was a huge problem (they’re not back yet this year). Even the scooter companies would set them out blocking walkways, bus stop

I’m not saying anyone would do that intentionally. But I think it’s well established that most people’s reaction to modals is to close them and get back to what they are doing rather than read and consider them. After that, iOS users are so

I don’t think so… I’m not sure, but it doesn’t look like this adds anything beyond knowing the passcode (already required in my understanding) if you have time alone with the device.

This seems like a positive change, or at least a non-issue. It’s not a big deal to ask developers to check a “I know what I’m doing” box. However, I’m not sure how big of an attack vector they’re closing here. I’m thinking of two channels:

The M1 Pros occasionally get hot enough you can hear the fan over a quiet conversation. Are you referring to the previous generation Intel MBPs which routinely maxed out their cooling system and thermal throttled?

I think they were referring to companies like Accenture, IBM, or PwC. The "Professional Services" industry employs a ton of software developers and is fairly pro-cyclical.

“4 hour screen on time” That seems crazy low. I have an iPhone Mini (and would switch back to Android when I replace it if they have a mini quality phone and Apple doesn’t) and my battery lasts “all day.” I’m not sure how it works out in te

I think there’s a few reasons they don’t worry about it: 1. This very rarely comes up at all. 2. These guys aren’t usually that good (by NHL standards) and you’ve probably lost the game anyway. You’re relying on your defense to keep the puc

No one I know that enjoys Monopoly (I don't know anyone who loves it) has significant house rules. It's a mediocre game by almost any metric but house rules almost universally make it worse, not better.
